Before you can file for divorce in Texas, you must meet specific eligibility requirements — and misunderstanding them can delay or even dismiss your case. In this episode, our attorneys break down exactly who qualifies to file for divorce in Texas, including residency rules, jurisdiction requirements, and legal qualifications that courts look for before accepting a case.

We explain the six-month state residency rule, the 90-day county requirement, how Texas handles military families and temporary absences, and what documentation you may need to prove eligibility. You’ll also learn how eligibility differs from filing strategy — and why confirming you qualify before filing can save time, money, and frustration.

💡 Knowing whether you qualify is the first — and most important — step in the Texas divorce process.
